- Description
- The issue of ownership of float during delay and disruption disputes is well recognized and appreciated amongst construction industry practitioners and professionals. Typically the contract documents attempt to address the issue, either expressly or impliedly within their provisions. Industry norms have evolved in an attempt to rationalize and standardize procedures. Yet there is no single approach to the issue recognized, accepted, or applied. In Australia the standard forms of construction contracts typically allocate float ownership to the Contractor. In October 2002 the Society of Construction Law published a Delay and Disruption Protocol that contained a proposed approach to the issue of float and float ownership that they hoped would be adopted and applied on construction projects in the UK that is contrary to the position of float ownership in Australia. This research obtains the opinions of members of the SCL Protocol drafting committee and Australian construction professionals of the suitability of the Protocols approach to the issue of float and float ownership for adoption and use by the Australian construction industry.
